Description 4 inch in length, 2 inch width

Coper sheet and wire oxidised, metal and gem stone and ceramic beads.

I cannot take credit for the basic design, (from a "how to book").
I can only take credit for the selection of the beads and arrangement. Its was a learning exercise in using different techiques in construction without soldering. An attempt to create more "arty" fun type jewellery

Lucky idea - to use oxidised copper! I like it!
